As I forgot to cc linux-mips on my previous email: I'm planning to queue
this for v4.15.

Over the weeked I got this bcma patch, but don't know if it's related or
not:

bcma: Prevent build of PCI host features in module
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10161087/

And Guenter's patch is:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10162839/

Which one should I take? Adding also Matt.

And Matt also submitted similar patch for ssb:

ssb: Prevent build of PCI host features in module
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10161131/
